A Walk In The Park | lifestyle

Oh
the irony of being sat inside on a beautiful day liking inspirational quotes
about being active and getting outdoors on instagram. I’m sure we’re all guilty
one time or another, I definitely am, so this weekend I seized the opportunity
to spend some time with my beautiful mother and we went to soak up some of this
amazing British sunshine, because lets be honest who knows how long it’s going
to last.

As
glorious as the weather was, I don’t know how I would have felt about getting
in freezing cold rapids, just yet anyway. These people clearly weren’t phased
though, I love watching them and convincing myself one day I will be that cool
and will spend my weekends enjoying a plethora of advanced water sports.

Once
I had been dragged away from the rapids, we decided the 3.5 mile lake walk was
the one for us this weekend, at this point I may have started to regret my
thoroughly girlie footwear decision but I was up for it.

Ducks
are my favourite. I may have also nearly taken an innocent cyclist out trying
to get this picture, whoops.

No
matter how old you are, don’t pretend you don’t instantly want to spend hours
making daisy chains.

The
place was so big I think we’re going to try and make it a little Sunday
tradition and explore a little more.

More
ducks because apparently I can’t get enough, but seriously how cute are these
baby Canadian Geese.

I
love being able to look back on where I have walked from and it seems miles and
miles away. In reality, it was 3.5 miles away but you know.

We
decided to take a small detour on the way back and make the walk a little
longer, clearly the endorphins were flowing, not really but it did mean I would
revert to being a child and collect some baby pinecones.

I have been obsessed
since I was a tiny, strange I know but I used to love keeping them on my window
sill and watching them change, I blame my mum.
